    She's too moderate to right leaning for my taste but I guess down here that looks like straight up socialism. Which is ridiculous because we are a socialist/capitalist hybrid country anyway.

    She's more like a center-leaning progressive. But she's really focused on getting Congress to address national issues in Louisiana like the coastal land loss and the hurricane protection. She has the kind of seniority that allows her to get things done in Washington. Lots of money with her fingerprints on it have come from Washington to Louisiana and more will come now that she's chair of the Senate Energy & Environment committee. She believes in funding the military, too. That's why Putin put her under sanction from traveling in the Soviet Union. And she is chair of the Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Homeland Security.

    Karl Marx was too moderate for your taste

    Marx was right about a lot of things. Crazy people can take the works of any genius and corrupt and twist it into something evil.

    Marx was one of the most evil mother scratchers out there but I know I can't win it with you. Oh well.

    Marx did nothing "evil". He was a friggin' philosopher who hung out in London. He just had a radical economic and political theory based on class struggle.

    Thank you. Man the Reaganites scare easily round here. Next it's gonna be Steinbeck was evil. Hell Reagan had way more people killed than Marx ever thought of.

    Red is right Marx was a philosopher who had no clue as to what the real world was like. His ideas would work for a family at best but break down with a group greater than 10. His writings were used and abused by Lenin Stalin and the rest of the Russian thugs.
